I am in no doubt that if ownership was to ever change hands the owner would give advance notice which would allow investors to pull out their funding (bankroll) any time they wanted before the websites were sold. To do anything less would be a completely reckless act and as we all know the websites and its owner has a great reputation and most (if not all) investors have complete confidence in him.
Have you even read this thread's history? Edit: Sorry, they are different threads.This website has been "sold" fast multiple times to unknown buyers (I specially remember the first "sale" after the first owner got extorted or scared or something along those lines).
Some speculate they were just little shell sells. Why would someone have enough coins to buy a website like this and then need to give away most of their profits to someone else to bankroll it?
How many times has Bustabit/Bustadice been sold? I thought RHavar created it and at some point sold it to devans. I do not know anything about multiple sales of Bustabit/Bustadice.
The bankroll part is purely commercial. I have no idea how much the websites were sold for and I do not know for sure why devans does not return all the bankroll to investors so he can cover everything himself. You make a valid point about it though.
Personally I think there will be issues returning the bankroll because maybe investors also play on the websites themselves which means plenty of regular game players thus a regular recurring income, therefore losing them would affect the website income flow when investors go elsewhere with their funds.
Maybe devans can shed some light on it
